Just what I noted with my rifle.
Nothing scientistic about it.
Got the two Wolff recoil springs to see if it made any difference, if any, with accuracy.
From what I've read, the stock spring is 11lbs.
Wolff springs are16.5lbs and a 21lbs.
Also got a Power Custom blue buffer from Brownells
Ammo is Winchester 115gr FMJ, 100rd pack.
Shooting off the bench. 50yds and 100yds. It was a little windy.
1) Tried it with just the buffer changed.
Both felt about the same when I squeezed them. Maybe the blue was a little softer, but I didn't notice.
It did kind of feel like it had less of a clunking when the bolt went back.
Accuracy was a little better which was a surprise. Not by much, but it was something.
2) Changed to the 16.5 spring.
Easy to install. Pulling charging handle felt the same.
Felt recoil felt about the same. Still had bolt clunking. Maybe a little less.
Accuracy was about the same.
3) Changed to the 21lbs spring.
This one was not that easy to get the trigger group in.
There is a bullet guide ramp, in the trigger group, that the bolt rest on when closed. With the stronger spring, it was hard to align the pin holes.
Discovered a trick to make it easier. After installing the bolt, put a pencil in the port to hold the bolt back a little. The trigger group will fall into place, and the holes are easy to align.
Charging handle was much harder to pull back. Much harder.
Felt recoil was much less. No clunking Felt easier to keep it target.
Accuracy was about the same.
Function was no problem. Empties all seemed to go the same place. I use a net to catch brass, and keep from hitting the neighbor.
Shells didn't look any different from test to test. All had powder blow back on them.
Groups were from 1/4" to 3" at 50yds and 3" to 7" at 100yds. Had a few two shots almost touching at 50yds.
Except for the stiffer charging handle pull back, I think the 21lbs spring is the best bet. It seems to keep the bolt from hitting the buffer. Doesn't seem to affect accuracy any. I think it would be better in the long run.
